IC1396 - Salisbury Star Party

[carastro]

Part of the Elephant's Trunk nebula.

Taken during a short let up in the rain at the Salisbury Star Party Dorset on 25-10-11

36 x 5mins 800 ISO, Modified Canon 450D no filter on NEQ6

SW ED120, guided with PHD and QHY5

(Pre and post Meridian flip) but the flip didn't line the frames up the same so had to crop the frame shift.

My first attempt at this object.
